The Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce has commissioned Helen Yardley to design two new rugs for the large refurbishment project which is currently being undertaken at the RSA House. The refurbishment itself, which is a collaborative endeavour between Matthew Lloyd Architects and the Fellow-led RSA House Development Committee, has been designed to enhance the original appearance of the 18th Century building whilst also providing cutting-edge technological facilities.

Philosopher and writer Alain de Botton has been interviewed for the latest issue of Elle Decor, where he discusses his interest in architecture in his North London home. The centrepiece of his beautifully designed living space is a hand-knotted Helen Yardley rug, Alep in his own customised choice of colours. Alep is a highly versatile and popular design, which can be either hand-knotted or hand-tufted. All of Helen Yardley’s designs can be customised by colour or size  in consultation with the studio.
